    There is another thread I made on some log length I got delivered. I asked for all oak and I'm not complaining because this stuff was stockpiled for a while, but can anyone ID this wood? I know I've seen it posted here but don't remember what it might be. Red maple? In one split that is not pictured the heartwood had some purple. In some ways it reminds me of poplar. I'm hoping it's not poplar. I may just keep it separated because with my luck in four years when I burn it we'll have another winter like this one and I like the BTU's oak give over red maple.
    Anyway, what's your guess? The second image is one weathered end compared to a fresh cut piece.

    Your split pieces look like poplar.

    Pretty sure its black walnut. Look for a chambered center pith then it is.
